The deadline for the Special Issue on "Evolvability and Robustness in Artificial Evolving Systems" in the journal Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines has been extended to April 30, 2013.


The journal Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines (GPEM) was
founded to focus on artificial evolutionary systems that are active
which take inputs from their environment and act on them to produce
their behaviour.

Short- and long-term evolution depends on the variational properties
of the systems how changes to their structure maps to changes in their
behaviour (Altenberg, 1994). Robustness and evolvability are key
variational properties that themselves show evolutionary
dynamics. Active systems are an especially rich domain for the
evolution of robustness and evolvability since they often allow for
open-ended complexity.

GPEM is calling for papers for a special issue on Evolvability and
Robustness in Artificial Evolving Systems. A diversity of concepts
under the rubrics of evolvability and robustness have been introduced
as the literature on these subjects has expanded. This special issue
is open to the full range of these concepts. However, confusion has
entered the literature due to imprecise usage of these
terms. Therefore, a unique requirement for this special issue will be
that the authors provide precise quantitative definitions for the
aspects of evolvability and robustness they investigate.
